I have bought many things on EBAY. The only time I was ever scammed was when I bought something from a seller that had a user rating of 1 and posted 100 auctions at the same time. I have now learned my lesson. Do not buy anything of value from sellers that have less than a 50 user rating. The honest sellers have a reputation to protect and will make sure you get your items to avoid getting negative feedback.

I buy lots of stuff from ebay. You do have to be careful, but in hundreds and hundreds of auctions, I only got really scammed twice. Because most of my items are on the small side, I only lost about $50 altogether.

I have, in general, gotten far better bargains and made much more than if I hadn't used it.
